Oh, I just had a near death experience! Ran a stop and almost got hit by a bus; would’ve hit me right on the ribs! I’ve had another crash before where a powerline pole fell over my car, right next to my head.

My experience? Life didn’t flash before my eyes. I was just very scared at the moment, and was anxious and upset for a few hours after. It’s definitely going to change how carefully I drive moving forward.

Otherwise, I’ve seen a lot of patients sick, dying or terminally ill, working as a physician. It definitely affected the way I see life; I try to care less about what other people think I should be doing and instead act in a way I think is right. I am happy and satisfied that if I die I will be thought of fondly by most people I’ve interacted with.

Accomplishment? My entire career. I’m really glad with where I’m at now.

Now, in a moment? Being able to help my parent buy a house.

Sashimi and prime barbecue cuts.

Israel will build some very nice Jewish beachfront colonies over the bloodstained rubble. It’s what they’ve been doing in the West Bank and Jerusalem, at least.

Coming genocide? It has been escalating slowly for a while. The amount of blood already on the hands of the IDF before this attack was already enough to drown them twice over.

Eh…

As for Russian imperialism, I agree with you on this one, but it’s still a little bit of a debate even within the international communist movement.

Now, when we’re talking about China… I dunno, I don’t think I’ve made up my mind on this yet. It’s not clear cut, at least not for me. Right now, I think China is in a sui generis limbo between socialism and imperialist capitalism which could go either way.

Anyway, shilling for China and Russia is a rarer position on the Internet as a whole, so it’s refreshing even if it’s not necessarily positive. I’m just tired of US and EU propaganda machines completely taking over social media, especially the conservative propaganda.

What scares me the most is not the two-tons, it’s the twenty-tons. There’s something primally scary about a small house on wheels cutting you off in the left lane trying to pass another house on wheels, fully boxing you in between two metals walls while a pickup trying to go 30 over the limit gets all up in your 6.

IIRC, leftists were some of the first people on Reddit to start exploring Lemmy as an option. I found out about Lemmygrad a few years before the APIcalypse, but there wasn’t enough motive to compensate for the inconvenience before.

Anyway, gotta love a platform that hasn’t been drowned in the tsunami of sewage that is 21st century imperialist ideology (yet).
